[Resolved]  India Today Book Club, B-47, Indira Enclave, Neb Sarai, New Delhi - 68 — Non receipt of promised gift on purchase of products

15.05.2009

Sir,

On 23.04.2009 I have received a call in mobile from India Today Book Club executive Mr. Sachin Gupta who wanted to sale a product of 12 book having a free gift of tour package of Rs. 12000.00 in this purchase. I have denied for the tour package and he offered me many other package of rebock product which I declined.

Lastly he offered me Art d’inox Fine Dining set price around 4800 much lesser than the tour package made in German with the purchase after discussion with is boss. I had also talked to his boss regarding the free gift of above dining set. He agreed and accordingly I have paid an amount of Rs. 2598.00 through my credit card vide HDFC Bank authorized code No. 081377, and transition time was 04.58 pm of 23.04.2009.

After that Mr. Sachin Gupta gave me the Order No.[protected] and my member ship number was given by Ms. Geeta Gautam as ITBC091415. I requested to send the items immediately.

After half an hour Mr. Sachin Gupta had called on me and declined to give the diner set with the book. Then I requested him to cancel my order and credit the amount in to my account but he disconnected the telephone.

Then I have sent an e-mail on 23.04.2009 at 05.52pm requesting them to cancel the order and credit the amount to my account. But till date I have not received any reply from them regarding the cancellation.

They have send the 12 books packet with out the gift of diner set to my residence.

As I have paid the money had left no way except to keep the book without the gift. Also I have sent e-mail requesting for gift but all in vain. Now they kept quite.

In view of the above I request your esteem concern to look in to the matter and do needful to retrieve my gift and oblige me.

With warm regards.

Yours faithfully;

Dharmananda Jena

Hi,

I have faced similar issue with India Today Book Club, I have very serious doubts whether India Today Book Club is owned by the India Today Group, considering the callous service meted out to customers (or should I call them victims of the scheming group?)

I placed an order for watches and wallets and the order was assured to be delivered in 3-4 weeks. After several emails and phone calls to many people at the group, I finally managed to get the products after 14 weeks!

The company was least apologetic and never compensated for my waste of time and money pursuing my order!

We learn our lessons...I hope such forums make the companies also learn some lessons from others experience

I also faced the same problem, they send me the books but not send my gift ( reebok shos), when i contacted them no proper answer ...
I have faced the same type of issue.

I have ordered the SAMSUNG camera.I have recived it, ..but which i recived was not the same which i thought.and before i called them i have cleared and got the confirmation..of refund back of my money.

and i have sent back the sam eparcel to them on APRIL 2010 mid.

Tooday it is JULY 27 2010..upto now, neither i have recived the refund back..nor reply from them..

I fed up calling them..and mailing them..asking for refund..or valuable answer.

and it has mentioned that in 40 days..they will refund my amount..nothing has happened.

I dnt know, why such companies maintain..and make aproblem to the customers..by wasting their valuable time and money..and making mentally tensed.

how to make them clear or how to give hem right answer.

I want to take it to the media..can anyone help me..doing this..so that this will not happen again to anyothers.

and they neither give their senior authorities contact number..nor they connect the call to their seniors..and they not even give thier office address..to go and contact them..

by all these it clearly says..they are not upto mark..and mainly..sat ther for cheating.

plz anyone help me..in reaching these issues upto media..?
